There’s never a bad time to have a taco. And, with so many taco stands, carts, cantinas, and restaurants scattered throughout the Valley, you’re never more than a short walk away from a vendor. However, before you head out, it’s not a bad idea to determine whether or not the vendor is up to snuff with its most recent health inspection. After all, with so many options out there you’re far better off traveling the extra few blocks to the next taco truck and avoiding those with questionable food safety results. That might include one local Phoenix spot that received a D grade on its most recent inspection.
On September 4, Gordos Tacos at 4232 East Chandler Blvd in Phoenix was visited by the county food safety inspector for its annual inspection. The inspection history on this particular establishment is relatively limited, as it only dates back to November of 2023. Nevertheless, on its most recent inspection, it was cited for four Priority Violations.
A Priority Violation is one that directly contributes to the increase of foodborne illness and injury. Any restaurant with at least three of these violations automatically is given a D grade. In total, the restaurant had six violations, including two Priority Foundation violations. These do not contribute to health problems, but instead usually have something to do with building upkeep or other situations.
